Milesia is a genus of very large hoverflies,{{cite book |last= Van Veen |first= M. P. |title= Hoverflies of Northwest Europe, Identification Keys to the Syrphidae |type= hardback |year= 2004 |publisher= KNNV Publishing |location= Utrecht |isbn= 90-5011-199-8 |page= 145 }} which mimic social wasps. For example, the European species Milesia crabroniformis is a convincing mimic of the hornet species Vespa crabro. Milesia are predominantly Palaeotropical in

distribution almost entirely Oriental.{{cite book |last= Vockeroth |first=J.R. |date=1987 |title=Manual of Nearctic Diptera, Volume 2. |url=http://esc-sec.ca/wp/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/AAFC_manual_of_nearctic_diptera_vol_2.pdf|location=Canada |publisher= Research Branch, Agriculture Canada |page= 668 |isbn=0-660-12125-5 }}

The Larvae are of the short-tailed type, found in decaying heartwood of deciduous trees, including rot-holes.{{cite journal |last=Rotheray |first=G.E. |year=1993 |title= Colour Guide to Hoverfly Larvae (Diptera, Syrphidae) in Britain and Europe |journal=Diperists Digest |volume=9 |page=155 |url= https://diptera.info/downloads/df_1_9_Colour_Guide_to%20Hoverfly_Larvae.pdf }}
